Good for starting, not for staying - MPA Industry Dive Employee Review

- I had a great experience with Managers & Directors when I was there. Even the most sr level leaders offer up their time to the most junior level sales folks. - Fun times with colleagues. Lots of entertaining personalities in break-out sessions in the office and lots of laughs at happy hours. - Competitive commission. You get out what you put in. - The Marketing Programs Associate role is a great entry level job out of school. Opportunities for promotions if you're consistent, communicative about your goal to be promoted, and patient.

- I had asked for remote flexibility and didn't get it (maybe others will have more luck). - Often the problems sales folks run into are diagnosed by sr leadership as the salespeople's mistake, rather then a flaw in the business. Sometimes that's fair. That said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say... if you keep going back to management with well-reasoned issues/arguments, then eventually they'll work with you to find a solution - not just throwing suggestions at you about what/how you ought to be better. - The role stays essentially the same regardless of level.

- Wonderful, talented, driven co-workers. - Fantastic onboarding and training. - Open PTO policy and encouragement to use it. - Great variety of clients and programs. - Supportive managers. - Lots of structure but not a ton of red tape there would be at a larger company.

- Constant focus on revenue, which isn't great for morale. - We're constantly busy and need to grow our team. - Lots of restructuring in the past couple of years, which brought uncertainty and frustration but very little noticeable positive change. Our culture also took a hit amidst layoffs and a very rough tech integration. - Pay is not competitive. The most recent round of raises were between 3-5%, which barely met cost of living increases. (If I leave, it would be for better compensation and/or if the culture worsens after this next re-org.)
